Abstract
An apparatus is provided that has a trailer mounting bracket that carries a bending member, and a skirt attachment configured for being carried by a skirt of a tractor trailer. The bending member is received by the skirt attachment such that the bending member is configured to slide relative to the skirt. A locating feature that has a first member and a second member is present in which one of the first member and the second member is carried by the skirt attachment. The first member and the second member interact with one another to stabilize the position of the bending member relative to the skirt until a sufficient amount of force is applied to move the first member and the second member relative to one another to allow the bending member to slide relative to the skirt.
